       We should all be aware, and I think many of us are, that it’s the Holy Spirit who has given us our new life as a Christian. He has made us new creations in Christ. Nothing good came out of our flesh, as Jesus tells us. But he goes on to say that it’s his words, the words he speaks with his own mouth, also which gives spirit and life to himself and to others. So, both the Lord Jesus Christ and the Apostle Peter have shown us that if we want to have life in ourselves, that is good life, then the things we say with our mouths matter. But what I want you to see today is that there is far more to this than just being careful not to say bad things about other people, like gossiping or slandering. There is much more to it than that. I would purpose to you today that every word we speaks matters, no matter what we are talking about. As a matter of fact, Jesus also said, “for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:37, ESV).
